This announced inspection took place on 11, 12 and 13 October 2016 and was undertaken by one inspector. The provider was given 24 hours' notice because the location provides a domiciliary care service and we needed to be sure a member of staff would be available.
Before the inspection, we asked the provider to complete a Provider Information return (PIR). This is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We reviewed the completed PIR and previous inspection reports before the inspection. We checked the information we held about the service including statutory notifications. A notification is information about important events which the provider is required to send us by law.
We also contacted the health and social commissioners who monitor the care and support of people living in their own home.
During the inspection we visited three people in their own home and spoke to seven people who used the service who had agreed we could telephone them. We also spoke to a relative, four care staff, three senior carers, a client experience manager, a scheduling manager, a community service representative and the registered manager.
We reviewed the care records of six people and five staff recruitment files. We also reviewed records relating to the management and quality assurance of the service.


It's a collection of short stories, which have, as common denominator, the feature of being all about Russians and based on real facts.
Actually there is very little fiction. In most of cases I wrote a literal description of true stories. In few occasions I adapted slightly a description or I shortened an event, for narrative needs only.
The stories are presented in casual temporary order, like a voluntary backwards and forwards excursion in scattered memories.
I became fascinated by Russia when I was still a child. Oddly the book which kindled my enthusiasm for that country was not a Russian one. I discovered Russia, at least in my imaginary ideal, reading 'Michel Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar', by Jules Verne. I was seven or eight years old at that time and I was a passionate reader.
My next step was plunging into classical Russian literature and I dreamed of the world of Natasha Rostova, as Napoleon advanced in Russia. I felt moved by the vicissitudes of Anna Karenina and I fought with the difficulty of grasping 'The Brothers Karamazov'.
All that helped me to build my little, yet solid literary background, but gave me information only on a Russia which didn't exist anymore, while I knew very little about the contemporary Russia, which had become Soviet Union.
Only later, when I was largely adult, I realized that to perceive the spirit of a country it's necessary to learn its language and to deal with common people. History is a novel for which the people are the author.

When Death Rocks Your World, Maybe You Jump Out Of A Plane
Hanna Rosin
NPR Shots
Welcome to Invisibilia Season 4! The NPR program and podcast explores the invisible forces that shape human behavior, and we here at Shots are joining in to probe the often tenuous line between perception and reality. Here's a personal essay by the host that expands on Episode 1.
There are lots of times when moms ask us to do things we don't want to do. Move the car. Wipe down the table. Get a haircut. Call the great aunt on her birthday. Figure out why my new phone is making a weird buzzy sound and why can't I get into my Facebook account and, you get the picture. My mom? Last fall she asked me to jump out of an airplane.
Now, I am generally not a person hindered by fear. As a child I was the one chosen by cousins to play the monster under the bed because I could happily hide in the dark by myself for hours.
But lately I have developed just one single deep, visceral, nausea-inducing fear. And just my luck, it's a fear of heights. I noticed it one afternoon when I took my son and his friend to visit the Sears Tower in Chicago and walked out onto the glass balcony. Looking down at the city under my feet, I got so dizzy that I stumbled backwards and knocked over a small child behind me.
Intellectually, I recognized that this newfound phobia was probably some glitch of biology. My doctor blamed it on my balance getting worse with age. One theory is that your vertical perception deteriorates, and you get worse at approximating distances. It might just be that having children makes you less of a daredevil. Whatever it is, the fear was making it hard for me to be a dutiful daughter.
"If you're so afraid, then why are you doing it?" all my friends asked, which was the obvious, reasonable question. But I didn't feel that I had a choice.
A year earlier, my mother's husband — my father — died quickly and unexpectedly of a rare form of cancer. They'd been married for 51 years. They had done everything together. He drove her to the subway every morning, picked her up in the evening, made her tea every night. After he died she was in a permanent state of shock. All her bossiness, humor, vitality — gone.
'Up there, she would catch a glimpse of her husband.'
Then on the first anniversary of his death she sent me a text. It was a link to a place called Skydive Cross Keys outside Philadelphia, with a photo of a guy doing two thumbs up as he tumbled out of a plane. My mom is 74, and not at all physically adventurous, or any kind of adventurous. She's never even ridden a bike. The fact that she wanted to jump out of an airplane meant that some revolution was brewing inside her.
She'd gotten it in her head that skydiving was the one thing that would help her move forward. Her logic has to do with my father having been a paratrooper in the Israeli Army and also one other thing: "Up there we will say 'hello' and meet someday," is what she texted me. Up there, she would catch a glimpse of her husband. Deliver a message. Then separate, but vow to meet again soon. It was a little alarming and death-wishy but you'd have to have a heart of coal not to sign on.
"Can't you just wait for her on the ground?" my friends asked. But that seemed like cheating. Who would send a 74-year old woman into the barren sky, alone? Plus, if she could make such a sudden radical shift, couldn't I? I've watched a few episodes of the View. If a woman my age has fear, her only option is "conquer." If two women — and especially a mother and daughter — go on a road trip, their only option is to "push beyond their limits" and "awaken something within."
Determined, I put my trust in Google, hoping to find some celestial inspiration. This was an amateur Internet error. "Skydiver dies in parachute malfunction." "Three skydivers die after mid-air collision." "How I Survived a Skydiving Accident." Tabloids and YouTube love them a skydiving accident. That last one involved a tandem skydive in which the instructor's parachute and then emergency parachute failed to open, because it was too busy strangling him unconscious.
'Determined, I put my trust in Google, hoping to find some celestial inspiration.'
I had made zero progress when, on the morning of our jump, my mother picked me up at the Philadelphia train station. She drove us out to the open field and I sat next to her, recording the trip with my microphone — both to steady my hands and take my mind off visions of accidental strangling.
As the sky grew increasingly gray and the wind picked up, I tried to hide my relief. I had done enough Googling to know that no respectable outfit will let you skydive when the weather turns south. We arrived and the receptionist's face made it clear: We were not going to skydive that day. My mother begged, and I went to the bathroom to secretly high five myself.
My mother, however, is the most stubborn person on Earth, so a week later we were road-tripping again. And this time, clear skies.
Here is where I wish I could bring in the rousing music to indicate inner limits dissolving in open air. Unfortunately, I am too much of a realist. "Skydiving" is such a majestic term, a centuries old dream of being freer than free that dates back to Leonardo DaVinci's first sketch of a parachute. But to me, it is what it is. You fly 12,000 feet up in a rickety airplane, and then walk out the door.
My mom took two old sweatshirts and sewed the letters E-L-I onto them for us. That was my father's name. Eli. In Hebrew it suggests ascending to God, something up high.
I sat in the back of the tiny plane as we climbed up high, trying not to look out the window and track how very far up we were going. The skydiving video guy tried to get me to say I was excited, but in the video I just nod my head no and stare grimly ahead. First a young guy ahead of us tumbled out the door. My mom was next. She took her position at the edge of the open door, and the instructor adjusted her arms and chin. I watched with growing terror as a stranger pushed my mother out an airplane door and then it was my turn.
'The Shadow of Temperament'
Psychologist Jerome Kagan has done many studies on fear and the anxious mind. His theory is that we are all born with a certain temperament — either more or less fearful — and while we can work mightily and successfully against our natural instincts, we can never fully overcome them. He calls it "the shadow of temperament."
The conclusion has always struck me as gentle and generous towards the fearful, because it allows them to brave unknown territory while still holding onto their essential selves. But what about the naturally fearless, like me? Nobody talks much about what happens when they stray into the unfamiliar territory of deep fear.
I jumped. I don't know how it happened but it did. The instructor I was attached to just moved me to the door and I was out. I remember that it was freezing, and my ears hurt a lot. I remember he asked me, "Are you OK?" because I imagine most people, at some point during the jump, marvel at the beauty below. I can't say I ever did relax and enjoy the view. I just kept thinking, "DOWNDOWNDOWN" until we were down.
In the standard video they ask everyone if they would do it again. My mom answered an ecstatic "Yes" before he got the question out. My answer was "#$@%* No!" and then I think I mumbled, "Why do humans do this to themselves?"
In the end, I did not get over my particular fear or push beyond my limits or awaken anything within except a terrifying jolt that hits every time I step onto an airplane. It's a very unfamiliar feeling for me, but maybe I can adopt a bit of Kagan's generosity in this situation and accept that I will experience this one little pocket of terror without betraying who I am. At the very least, it made my mom happy. Because after a long, crushing year, she got to be the brave one.

Response to UK Government funding for girls' education in emergencies
This is a statement in response to new funding from the UK Government for girls' education in emergencies.
Tanya Barron, CEO of Plan International UK, said:
"We are delighted that the UK Government has pledged £90 million to the Education Cannot Wait Global Fund, again showing its commitment to championing girls' rights internationally.
"This money will provide vital education to millions of girls whose lives have been torn apart by conflict and disaster. Right now, these girls are more likely to be married before the age of 18 than to finish school. Too often, their voices go unheard, so it's hugely encouraging that the government have truly listened to their needs.
"We hope this will now pave the way for other international leaders and donors to act. Girls around the world need concrete commitments like this to ensure they have every possible chance to thrive."

Q: what is wrong with my html code? I am new to html.  I have been debugging my code for the past 5 hours and I cannot figure out what is wrong with it.  I reference a package that only has 1 method, which is get_country.  The link to the packages I use are here.  https://github.com/nickewing/line-reader and https://github.com/totemstech/country-reverse-geocoding
<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      function a() {
        var lineReader = require('line-reader');
        lineReader.eachLine('Location.txt', function(line, last) {
          var b= line.split(",",2)
          var lat= parseInt(b[0])
          var lng= parseInt(b[1])
          var crg = require('country-reverse-geocoding').country_reverse_geocoding();
          var country = crg.get_country(lat, lng);
          console.log(country.name); //
          if (/* done */) {
            return false; // stop reading
          }
        });
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <button type="button" onclick="a()>Click run reverse geocoder</button>
  </body>
</html>

A: You're missing a closing quote, you have:
<button type="button" onclick="a()>Click run reverse geocoder</button>

and it should be:
<button type="button" onclick="a()">Click run reverse geocoder</button>

A: Aside from the missing quote in the other answer, you have a few quotes that are not standard or double quotes. Here are the ones that a JS parser found:

*

*lineReader.eachLine('Location.txt... - The single quote before Location is not a single quote

*var b= line.split("," - These are not really double quotes - perhaps convert to single quotes or use actual double quotes

Additionally, after your closing brace to the function, you have some extra closing braces and parenthesis.

*

*); - The parenthesis and semicolon

*} - The last bracket

Hope this helps

A: *

*in javascript or in jQuery try to use "" or '' not that curely "" quotes

*and its input element in html having attribute type or use button element instead and remove type attribute. hope it would work now
<html>
   <head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function a()
  {
  var lineReader = require('line-reader');
  lineReader.eachLine('Location.txt', function(line, last) {
  var b= line.split(',',2);
  var lat= parseInt(b[0]);
  var lng= parseInt(b[1]);
  var crg = require('country-reverse-geocoding').country_reverse_geocoding();
   var country = crg.get_country(lat, lng);
  console.log(country.name); //
   if (/* done */) {
   return false; // stop reading
   }
  });
   }
 </script>
  </head>
 <body>
 <input type="button" onclick='a()'>Click run reverse geocoder</button>
 </body>
 </html>
EDIT:
sorry IDK why the formating of code it not being applied here.

A: Syntax error:
onclick="a()" - Missing closing quotes.

How Do You Maintain a Solar Photovoltaic LED Lighting Installation?
Outdoor Lighting Perspective's solar photovoltaic (PV) LED lighting system has been operational at the Village of Genesee's entrance monument for two years now. A few weeks ago we completed the Year Two annual maintenance for the system – and it continues to illuminate the monument nightly with the free energy captured by the sun.
The solar PV LED system consists of the following: a 3.7W LED lighting fixture supported by a strut to provide downlighting (Genesee is dark-sky compliant); a solar mast that supports the 16- by 20-inch solar PV panel and equipment bay; the equipment bay contains the solar gel battery and system controller. Every solar PV LED lighting system should be checked and maintained on an annual basis, and this is especially true for a mountain installation where the site can experience very high wind loads.
Confirm that the current levels of the solar array and load do not exceed the controller ratings.
Tighten all terminal connections. Inspect for loose, broken or burnt wire connections. Be certain that no loose strands of wire are touching other terminals.
Test that the LED fixture is working.
Inspect the equipment bay for signs of dirt, insects, moisture, and/or corrosion.
Ensure that the air flow around the controller is not blocked.
Check that the controller functions and LED indicators are correct for the system conditions at that time.
Clean the PV array and reconfirm that the array is oriented correctly.
Re-confirm that the correct battery type is indicated.
Check and re-tighten as needed the ground wires by the fixture as well as by the PV array.
Inspect and re-tighten as needed the mounting system for the fixture.
Re-touch paint as needed on the solar mast and equipment bay.
As with any type of lighting system, annual and preventive maintenance will ensure that the lights will be on when you need them.

Last weekend was spent in Betty's Bay and, as miserable as the whether was, it was the kind of weekend where we ate great food, watched TV and explored gorgeous places... Especially love Oskars in Hermanus. Delish coffee!
This weekend we spent some time in Kalk Bay - Saturday was too gorgeous! We had lunch at Harbour House where our starters (the pics) where great but the mains where gross... and that is why you won't be seeing photos of those. Quite disappointing for one of my best locations restaurant wise... Also went shopping in kalk Bay and found a few odds and ends for my home. One of them was a vintage jug that I planned to fill with the proteas I had bought - but I quickly realised this leaks. Not so ideal!
Loving my Selby book from Ben. One of my favourite sites and the perfect addition to my growing book collection :) You can see their site here.
Again, as always, loving my Incoco nails. I seriously can't get enough. I think I have influenced all my collegues as well as friends - they are so cool and last forever. I have their evemnt next week with a top nail artist, so will be sharing exciting news with you from that.
Love Kalk Bay and The Selby book :) oh and cappuccinos.


This lively section of Tampa was built around the cigar-rolling industry. It's the place to go if you want to sip cafecitos at El Molino, or taste authentic Cuban sandwiches - the official sandwich of Tampa. To learn about historic Ybor, take a walking tour and visit Ybor City Museum State Park, set in the former bakery where Cuban bread - a regional staple similar to Italian bread - is said to have originated. Or sit back and soak up the culture as the streetcar takes you to various points throughout the historical area.
Those who want to take in a game are spoiled for choice in Tampa, home to 3 major league teams. Football fanatics can revel in the rowdiness of a Buccaneers game. For hockey and baseball aficionados, the city is home to the Tampa Bay Lightning, former Stanley Cup winners, and the Tampa Bay Rays. Visiting during off-season? Get a sneak peek of 4 Major League Baseball teams during spring training, including the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Race fans can place their bets as thoroughbreds hit the final stretch at the Tampa Bay Downs.
If you're playing a game of "Florida wildlife bingo," you'll be able to tick off several squares here. You can stroll the boardwalks or canoe the waters of Lettuce Lake Park while spying on sunning alligators and turtles. All birdwatchers have to do is turn their heads: White Ibises, Great Blue Herons, and Sandhill Cranes are all residents of Tampa. Humans migrating south to escape snow and gray skies should consider an outing to Tampa's Manatee Viewing Center. This ex-power station no longer provides electricity, but it does give the docile giants a place to stay warm in winter months.
Prefer to see animals while riding roller coasters? Drive 15 minutes to Busch Gardens Tampa to get your thrills on one of North America's tallest freestanding drop towers, or by taking a Serengeti Night Safari. And while the downtown area has a vibrant arts scene, a half-hour drive across the bay leads to the Salvador Dalí Museum, where you can trace the renowned surrealist's life and career through his paintings and sketches. A 25-minute drive south, Fort De Soto Park offers swaths of brilliant white sand lapped by gentle, blue-green Gulf of Mexico waters.


Add lollies or party fillers to this simple yet elegant party bag, to delight the party guests. Great for a range of party themes as they are easily customisable with our stickers, coloured cord, baker's twine and party tags! These are particularly great for a wedding or engagement party.


The Observer Watches: Don't like the grassroots response to immigration? Attempt to eat it out from within.
Don't like the grassroots response to immigration? Attempt to eat it out from within.
Well, this was surprising...well, not really.
SINGAPORE: Expect to see more new immigrants to Singapore as community leaders in the future -- the People's Association is planning to induct more of them into the ranks of grassroots leadership.
Currently, some 3,000 new immigrants are grassroots leaders.
They make up nine per cent of Singapore's 33,000-member strong grassroots leadership.
Hah. I thought the whole idea of grassroots organisations was to provide some idea of what people on the ground feel...so if you don't like it, change their makeup so it complies with your revolutionary vision of the future.
Ms Fu said through interaction with others, grassroots leaders can facilitate common understanding, even if it involves the work of dispute resolution.
She said: "We hope to get more people to step forward and represent views of diverse groups so that the government can actually have a more diverse representation, and understand the needs of each community stakeholder better.
"So whether you're a new citizen, old citizen, we'd like you to step forward, do something for the society, and that's how we can get engagement from our citizens."
Of course, firstly, the unquestioned assumption that diversity is automatically Good(TM)m so ingrained in all of us as the modern religion. A culture for everyone, unfortunately, is necessarily a dumbed-down, unremarkable culture, having everything, meaning nothing. It has to appeal to everyone, after all, the underman included, and in doing so loses the point of a culture.
Me? I'm finding all of this quite hilarious. The current culture of Singapore is at best three or four decades old - whatever that was here before the '70s was systematically dismantled and destroyed. The Singapore of today has absolutely no cultural roots in the Singapore of 1812 where Stamford Raffles set foot on this island and instead is stitched and glued together from government policy, social engineering and a subservient populace. When I hear locals complain about Singaporean culture being destroyed and locals being displaced, I have to suppress the urge that we were more than willing to do it to ourselves, after all.
Well, at most we've only lost a couple centuries' worth of history, as opposed to a couple millenniums' worth in the case of Europe. No big loss when you put it into perspective, right?
Make the parasites accountable for their behavior.

NZXT was founded in 2004 by Johnny Hou as a sub-brand of iBUYPOWER producing products specifically for the DIY PC building community. The company's first product was the NZXT Guardian, which was a case featuring a plastic front bezel resembling Transformers toys and lighting effects. Over time, they gradually expanded to other categories of computer hardware, including computer power supplies, computer cooling, motherboards, and streaming devices.
NZXT has been making PC cases since 2003, when they released the Guardian. In 2013, the Phantom 630, 530, and 410 were released.
The S340 released in 2016, and later featured a collaboration with Razer. The S340 was refreshed in 2016 with the S340 Elite, which featured a tempered glass side panel instead of the acrylic panel of the previous S340. A limited Hyperbeast edition of the S340 Elite was later released. Also in 2016, NZXT released the Manta – A mini-ITX chassis that featured radically different design compared to their case lineup at the time.
A new line of cases was released in October 2017, consisting of the H700, H400, and the H200. They are minimalist in design, and are constructed from steel with tempered glass side panels. The "i" variants of each case come with decorative LED lighting and a fan controller.
The H-series cases were refreshed in May 2019. The new revisions introduced a front-panel USB-C port. One of the refreshed cases, the H510 Elite, added a second glass panel on the front of the case.
NZXT has multiple all-in-one water cooler products under their Kraken lineup. The first of these was released in 2013, in both 140mm and 280mm sizes. NZXT has since released multiple updates to this lineup, including new coolers in 120mm and 360mm sizes, and improvements to the pumps and radiators. Most recently, they released a new cooler, the Z73, which includes a customisable LED display, and updates to the rest of their AIO lineup.
NZXT released their own line of motherboards for the Intel Z370 chipset in January 2018 with a refresh in October 2018 to support the Z390 chipset. It was praised for its minimalist design, as the circuitry is not exposed. June 2020 saw a brand new release of the Intel Z490.
NZXT began selling power supply units in 2010, before ceasing sales of them in 2016. They re-entered the market in partnership with Seasonic in July 2018 with a series of modular digitally-controlled power supplies.
Over the 16 years of successful service, NZXT have built up a passionate gaming community following. Their dedication to make extraordinary gaming experiences achievable and fun, you can count on the team when it comes to delivering the full gaming experience.

well, I need a distraction from how much work I have to do around here, so I think I will try this again. I got completely shut down on my first choice of Catch 22, so I think I will pick something else and try that for now. Going to check out the library tomorrow and get a new book, I have a lot of catching up to do. For more info click here.
well, I managed to spend the whole summer working on someone else's dream. I neglected myself, and the garden, and my dreams of becoming more self sufficient. It is in my nature to learn from the past, and find the good in all situations, so what I learned is that my dreams should never take a back seat to anyone, or anyone else's dream. I love helping my friends, but when it takes so much away from me I can't do it. This summer will go down as another hard lesson about how to manage my priorities, and follow my own dreams. I will begin again, starting today to get my dreams back on track and begin doing what I should have been doing all summer, taking care of my home, my garden, and getting back to a much more simple way of living. Heres to hopeful autumn and winter planning to get back on track as soon as possible :).
happy day, and remember, sometimes you get stalled out, or have a set back, but its just more time for you to find whats really important to you...once you find it, go out there and get it.

SDN-Enabled Network Services for Big Data Science
SDN-Enabled Network Services for Big Data Science more
Room Pacific 14-15
Session Abstract
Big data has emerged as a driving force for scientific discoveries. Large scientific instruments (e.g., colliders, and telescopes) generate exponentially increasing volumes of data. To enable scientific discovery, science data must be collected, indexed, archived, shared, and analyzed, typically in a widely distributed and highly collaborative manner. Data transfer is now an essential function for science discoveries, particularly within big data environments. To support data transfer for big data science, there is a need for predictable, high performance, scalable, end-to-end, programmable networks that enable science applications to use network resources most efficiently.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel network architecture and technological approach that separates the network control and data planes. By logically centralizing the network control in SDN controllers and implementing the traffic forwarding in switching hardware, SDN provides network programmability capabilities. The promise of SDN is that it allows network resources to be customized, orchestrated, and managed in a dynamic and automated manner. This offers the potential for optimizing use of network resources, resulting in immense performance advantages for both network operations and for the large-scale science applications that run on those networks.
DOE's Office of Science Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) office has funded work on a number of SDN research projects, including BigData Express, SENSE, and SDN NGenIA, to develop advanced network capabilities and features in support of big data science. The BigData Express project research team has prototyped a SDN-enabled network service called AmoebaNet that provides "application-aware" network service in campus or local area networks. AmoebaNet takes an application-centric approach that allows science applications to program networks at run-time to suit their needs. The SENSE team adopts a resource-centric approach to provide end-to-end orchestration of automated and dynamic circuit services across multiple WAN domains, with flow steering and shaping on Data Transfer Nodes (DTNs) located at the campus border. BigData Express and SENSE both aim to provide SDN-enabled network services for big data science, but they differ significantly in design principles – application-centric vs. resource-centric and in targeted areas – LAN/Campus networks vs. WAN/Campus border. On the other hand, SDN NGenIA focuses on consistent operations across both the application and network domains, with end-to-end orchestration including negotiation between the science programs' workflow management systems and the network orchestration services.
We propose a "SDN-enabled network services for big data science" session at Internet2 2018 Global Summit to present these SDN R&D activities. The following topics will be covered:
(1) BigData Express and AmoebaNet's design principles, requirements, architectures, and implementation.
(2) BigData Express orchestrates and manages network resources using AmoebaNet.
(3) AmoebaNet addresses the last mile problem and the network scalability problem in conjunction with WAN circuits/paths reservation such as ESnet OSCARS and Internet2 AL2S
(4) SENSE's design principals, requirements, architectures, and implementation.
(5) SDN NGenIA's focal areas, design principles and key components, as well as its role relative to SENSE and its large scale areas of application.
(6) Requirements and limitation of requests and negotiations between resource domains and application-centric workflow orchestrators.
This session is intended to achieve the following goals: (1) keep the R&E community informed of the latest progress on BigData Express, SDN NGenIA and SENSE; (2) collect feedback from the R&E community on our work; and (3) find potential collaborators to deploy and evaluate these SDN tools, as well as individual state of the art open source tools such as SDN NGenIA's Fast Data Transfer (FDT) and its extensible agent-based architecture.

Which Aussie <i>Bachelor</i> star just got engaged?
This Bachelor babe has certainly hit the jackpot.
Despite losing out to Sam (erm, Louise) in this year's series of The Bachelor, Alana Wilkie has announced her engagement to fiancé and Perth Demons WAFL player Chris Billings… two weeks after revealing she was 12 weeks pregnant! Talk about a busy end of the year.
Posting a loved-up snap with her beau on Instagram from their Bali holiday, 26-year-old Alana wrote: "They say things always come in three's [sic] #baby #newhouse #engaged."
"Everything comes in three's [sic]" Source: Alana Wilkie/Instagram.
Soon after, her hubby-to-be posted the cute shot below. "Celebrating winning the TRIFECTA," he captioned the snap.
We love the subtle sparkler flash, Alana. Source: Chris Billings/Instagram.
That certainly seems the case for the new couple, who announced their baby news on social media last month.
"And there were three… #baby #boy #girl #mum #dad," she posted alongside the pic below in November.
"And then there were three." Source: Alana Wilkie/Instagram.
Talking exclusively to TheFIX soon after their shock news, the legal secretary said the pregnancy was totally "unexpected".
"I was so nervous because we'd spoken about marriage and children on so many occasion but we always thought it was going to be a few years away," Alana said. "But I think he's ready to be a dad and I don't think he doubted that either. We're both really happy."
And while the baby news was a little surprising, we totally expected Chris' proposal… especially after the sports star hinted that an engagement was "pending".
"It's definitely on the cards," he added. "We have spoken about it. And this little surprise will certainly put it down that path!"
Let's hope their engagement lasts longer than Blake and Sam's super-short tryst.

Building Golf Clubs- Trials & Tribulations
Building golf clubs isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, you get some tough jobs.
The toughest job I've ever done was reshafting a Hammer driver. Yes, that driver…
POW!!!
If you managed to sit through that whole video, you are my hero. I still can't do it. It even wakes me up in a dead sleep when I have the TV set to the Golf Channel.
Anyway, a guy tasked me for a reshaft job on his Hammer, built to specs similar to his gamer, a Cobra.
The Bane of My Existance
He wanted a Grafalloy ProLite 35 installed. Not that big of a deal, but his Cobra was 46.5″, which is what the Hammer was to be built to.
RELATED: The Ultimate Driver Guide!
I tried talking him out of it, but that was what he was comfortable with.
The Hammer isn't exactly conducive to helping with shots away from the "sweet spot". Well, no driver truly is; a shot hit with an open face will still result in a slice. The Hammer, however, isn't especially high on the list.
But the customer's always right. Yes, I'll do my best to convince you otherwise, but my priority is your happiness. Building golf clubs, fitting golf clubs, go much smoother when it's a collaboration.
Related: How I blueprint your golf club build (woods)
As you can see, the inside diameter of the hosel is .350″. Yeah, it's .004″ larger, but that's not something to freak out about when building golf clubs. My old Sasquatch was .339″, even though it's stated as .335″. "Manufacturing tolerances" is what that's called.
Because the customer had his heart set on the ProLite, a .335″ shaft, that meant a shim was needed. Again, no big deal. It happens more than you might think, and doesn't do anything other than allow a smaller-diameter shaft to fit into larger-diameter hosels.
I feel there's a point of diminishing returns. I've never thought it a good idea to try to put a .335″ shaft in a .370 hosel, for instance. That seems like a recipe for disaster.
I consider myself an experimenter, but even I have my limits!
[thrive_link color='green' link='https://greenlanterngolf.com/golf-drivers-ultimate-guide/' target='_self' size='medium' align='aligncenter']Green Lantern Golf's Ultimate Driver Guide![/thrive_link]
He wanted a Black Widow "widow-maker" grip installed. Nice grip- and inexpensive, if you're in the market for one.
The problem was when he went to hit it. I knew what the outcome was going to be… but it didn't make it suck less.
First drive on the range and it curves right. It was painful seeing that quick flash of dejection, like he really wanted it to be just like the commercial.
It's important to be fitted for whatever stick you're wanting to buy
I think if I would've been able to build it shorter and up the swing weight, it could've been.
The good news was, he was one of those "cool customers". He knew he was buying what amounted to an experiment, and he played it off like it was nothing. But I still caught that look.
The point I'm making is, even if everything goes right, it can still go wrong. It's important to be fitted for whatever stick you're wanting to buy, whether it's a brand new club, a used club from Ebay, or something you saw on an informercial at 4:30 in the morning.

Perchède (Persheda en gascon) est une commune française située dans le département du Gers en région Occitanie. Sur le plan historique et culturel, la commune est dans le Bas-Armagnac, ou Armagnac noir, un pays s'inscrivant entre les vallées de l'Auzoue, la Gélise, la Douze et du Midou.

Exposée à un climat océanique altéré, elle est drainée par l'Izaute, le ruisseau de la Saule et par divers autres petits cours d'eau. La commune possède un patrimoine naturel remarquable : un site Natura 2000 (le « réseau hydrographique du Midou et du Ludon ») et deux zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique.

Perchède est une commune rurale qui compte  en , après avoir connu un pic de population de  en 1861.  Ses habitants sont appelés les Perchédois ou  Perchédoises.

Géographie

Localisation
La commune de Perchède est située en plein cœur de l'Armagnac, à proximité de la forêt des Landes.

Communes limitrophes

Géologie et relief

Perchède se situe en zone de sismicité 2 (sismicité faible).

Hydrographie
La commune est dans le bassin de l'Adour, au sein du bassin hydrographique Adour-Garonne. Elle est drainée par l'Izaute et le ruisseau de la Saule et par divers petits cours d'eau, qui constituent un réseau hydrographique de  de longueur totale.

L'Izaute, d'une longueur totale de , prend sa source dans la commune de Dému et s'écoule vers le nord. Il traverse la commune et se jette dans la Gélise à Castelnau d'Auzan Labarrère, après avoir traversé .

Environnement et nature
Depuis juin 2010 la commune a créé sur son territoire, une balade-découverte autour du rôle des zones humides et de la faune et la flore qui les habitent, appelée le "Sentier du Pesqué". Ce sentier balisé et émaillé de panneaux d'informations est réservé aux piétons. Il permet de mieux connaître le rôle des arbres, des étangs, des petits cours d'eau mais aussi de reconnaître les oiseaux, insectes et plantes rares que l'on trouve aux abords des étangs. On peut également y voir la cistude, une espèce de tortue en voie de disparition.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité

Réseau Natura 2000

Le réseau Natura 2000 est un réseau écologique européen de sites naturels d'intérêt écologique élaboré à partir des directives habitats et oiseaux, constitué de zones spéciales de conservation (ZSC) et de zones de protection spéciale (ZPS).
Un site Natura 2000 a été défini sur la commune au titre de la directive habitats : le « réseau hydrographique du Midou et du Ludon », d'une superficie de , un site présentant une diversité d'habitats relativement importante, malgré une faible représentativité des habitats d'intérêt communautaire.

Zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique
L'inventaire des zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) a pour objectif de réaliser une couverture des zones les plus intéressantes sur le plan écologique, essentiellement dans la perspective d'améliorer la connaissance du patrimoine naturel national et de fournir aux différents décideurs un outil d'aide à la prise en compte de l'environnement dans l'aménagement du territoire.
Une ZNIEFF de  est recensée sur la commune :
l'« étang de Perchède et bois du château de Pesquidoux » (), couvrant  du département et une ZNIEFF de  :
le « réseau hydrographique du Midou et milieux annexes » (), couvrant  dont 37 dans le Gers et six dans les Landes.

Urbanisme

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Perchède est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse) et séisme (sismicité faible). Il est également exposé à deux risques technologiques,  le transport de matières dangereuses et  le risque industriel. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 54,2 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (94,5 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019,  sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 63 %, à comparer aux 93 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Par ailleurs, afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, l'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1983, 1999 et 2009. Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par la sécheresse en 1989 et 1992 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

Risques technologiques
La commune est exposée au risque industriel du fait de la présence sur son territoire d'une entreprise soumise à la directive européenne SEVESO.

Le risque de transport de matières dangereuses sur la commune est lié à sa traversée par des infrastructures routières ou ferroviaires importantes ou la présence d'une canalisation de transport d'hydrocarbures. Un accident se produisant sur de telles infrastructures est en effet susceptible d'avoir des effets graves au bâti ou aux personnes jusqu'à , selon la nature du matériau transporté. Des dispositions d'urbanisme peuvent être préconisées en conséquence.

Q: Multibinding Visibility property of a RadButton on a RadGridViewRow I need to be able to multibind the Visibility property of a RadButton placed on a RadGridView row to both the "IsSelected" property of the GridViewRow and a Public Property on the ViewModel (called "OtherValue" in this case). The purpose of this is to only show the [Delete] button on the selected row but also to be able to override this via custom code in the ViewModel based on certain business rules.
Any suggestions on the syntax for the binding for the multiconverter? I currently have the following:
              <telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
              <DataTemplate>
                <telerik:RadButton Width="70"
                                   Command="telerik:RadGridViewCommands.Delete"
                                   CommandParameter="{Binding}"
                                   Content="Delete">

                  <telerik:RadButton.Visibility>
                    <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityMultiValueConverter}">
                      <Binding Path="IsSelected" />
                      <Binding Path="OtherValue" />
                    </MultiBinding>
                  </telerik:RadButton.Visibility>

                </telerik:RadButton>
              </DataTemplate>

            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
          </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

A: Caveat: I've never used any Telerik controls. This answer is likely to be right-ish rather than dead on the money, but should hopefully give you some notions:
<DataTemplate>
    <telerik:RadButton Width="70" Command="telerik:RadGridViewCommands.Delete" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Content="Delete">
        <telerik:RadButton.Visibility>
            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityMultiValueConverter}">
                <Binding ElementName="MyRadGridView", Path="Rows[0].IsSelected" />
                <Binding Path="OtherValue", RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:RadGridView}} />
            </MultiBinding>
         </telerik:RadButton.Visibility>
     </telerik:RadButton>
</DataTemplate>

You'll need to give your RadGridView a name which will replace MyRadGridView. As far as I can make out from  Telerik docs you should be able to bind a Row IsSelected property using the Row's index.
As your Button is inside a DataTemplate I think it's likely that you'll need to burrow back to your DataContext using RelativeSource/FindAncestor. If it doesn't bind against the RadGridView you can always try replacing that with Window/UserControl/whatever your RadGridView is housed in.

CAREhab and the Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore) join forces to elevate Asia's healthcare industry
CAREhab 2020 will be held in conjunction with 6th Singapore Rehabilitation Conference at MAX Atria at Singapore EXPO from 14 to 15 February 2020.
Singapore, 6 January 2020 – Asia's annual premier healthcare platform, CAREhab, an event dedicated to facilitating conversations and new collaborations within the healthcare community, will be held in conjunction with the 6th Singapore Rehabilitation Conference from 14 to 15 February 2020 at the MAX Atria at Singapore EXPO.
Jointly organised by SingEx Exhibitions and the Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore) (SRMS), CAREhab – Singapore Rehabilitation Conference 2020 is an interdisciplinary platform born out of a renewed partnership between both organising parties.
The event is set to bring together the entire healthcare community to address industry challenges, showcase good practices and encourage collaboration across the different institutes and regions—and in turn, elevate Asia's healthcare standards. The two-day conference will cover an exhaustive range of pertinent topics including neuro rehab, intensive care unit (ICU) rehab, sports rehab, amputee rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and paediatric rehab, among many others.
"SingEx Exhibitions is delighted to be co-organising CAREhab 2020 with the Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore), an association that we have been creating synergies with from the very beginnings of the show in years past. Delegates can expect a carefully curated, strong academic programme, covering a full spectrum of rehabilitation topics. A common thread this year is independence; from a heart-warming performance by the Aphasia SG choir, formed by stroke survivors and aphasia patients, to an anecdotal sharing session by para-athlete Aaron Yeo from Team Singapore, the conference aspires to exemplify a patient's journey towards reintegrating into society. With healthcare professionals from around the world gathering in one space, we are looking forward to facilitating new conversations and collaborations within the industry," said Jeong Han Lee, Cluster Director, Sustainability, at SingEx Exhibitions.
Organising Chairperson of the 6th Singapore Rehabilitation Conference, Adj. Asst. Prof. Geoffrey S Samuel, Consultant at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Singapore General Hospital, said: "The Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (Singapore), in partnership with SingEx, put together a well thought out and relevant scientific programme. This year's programme features practitioners from acute to chronic phase rehabilitation showing off their best in local practices and new developments. It will be a basis for developing national rehabilitation programmes in light of the national agenda put forward by the Ministry of Health to better support the rehab needs of Singaporeans, while also highlighting these achievements
to our regional colleagues."
Through the various continuous learning opportunities available at the conference, CAREhab has always been about enhancing the professional development of individuals in the healthcare sector. This agenda will be taken up a notch in the show's 2020 edition; doctors in Singapore will be able to earn CME (continuing medical education) points while nurses can receive CPE (continuing professional education) points.
Inspiring speaker line-up including renowned thought leaders in healthcare
CAREhab – Singapore Rehabilitation Conference 2020 is set to feature over 60 renowned speakers from across the world, including international visionaries the likes of Prof. Fary Khan, Director of Rehabilitation Services at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and Prof. Cathy Stinear, Director of the Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory at The University of Auckland. The conference speaker line-up will also comprise of medical professionals from Singapore's healthcare sector, including Assoc. Prof. Peter Lim, Senior Consultant in Rehabilitation and Former Founding Head of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Singapore General Hospital, and Dr. Effie Chew, Senior Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine in the Division of Neurology at National University Hospital.
Some of the speaker session highlights include:
- Prof. James McDeavitt, SVP and Dean of Clinical Affairs, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Chief Clinical Integration Officer at Baylor College of Medicine in the US, will shine a spotlight on rehab professionals going through learned helplessness.
His plenary lecture, "Ten Little Things", will see him discuss the practical steps that can be taken to help promote positive professional change.
- Adj. Assoc. Prof. Tjan Soon Yin, Head of Department and Senior Consultant of Rehabilitation Medicine at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, known for his interest in new innovations in rehabilitation delivery including game-related rehab, will be speaking on amputee rehabilitation and management.
- Prof. Michael Nilsson, Director of the Centre for Rehab Innovations and Global Innovation Chair of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Newcastle, will be sharing more on how deep machine learning can help determine the clinical decision tools to support the stratification of patients to individually tailored rehabilitation programmes in hospital and community settings.
- Dr. Ng Zhi Min, Consultant in the Department of Paediatrics at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, will be speaking on multidisciplinary management of the hip in children with long-term neurological condition.
- Dr. Teoh Chin Sim, Senior Consultant and Clinical Director of the Sports Medicine Centre at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, also Singapore's first female sports physician, will be discussing the topic of spinal cord injuries among sports professionals.
For the complete listing of speakers, visit www.carehab-singapore.com/src-speakers.
An interactive and experiential zone that takes you through a patient's journey
As with previous editions of CAREhab, the third run will feature an exhibition component that is free-to-attend. Serving as the collaborative platform which brings together healthcare stakeholders from across the globe, the exhibition will enable innovators and industry disruptors to be part of the journey in improving healthcare efficiency in the Asia-Pacific region.
The exhibition not only engages homecare givers and medical professionals, but also members of the public who relate with rehabilitation in some way.
SingEx Exhibitions is also working with non-profit organisations, Abilities Beyond Limitations and Expectations (ABLE) and Aphasia.SG, to create an interactive exhibition area where attendees will discover how they can play a part in a patient's recovery journey. The "Interactive Patient Journey Experience Zone" will take delegates and attendees through the
process of facilitating patients outside of clinical settings, including home, office, community and bank.

The introduction to OneWoman Radio and Season 1, this deep imagery journey and invitation to recognize the sleeping state of our forgetting takes us into the landscape of our unique and universal wisdom as women, and the rightful inheritance and necessary responsibility that comes with it.
Tell five women about the OneWoman Movement and OneWoman Radio. We will succeed if enough of us wake up and stand together. Together, we can accomplish the unimaginable.
Join us for these free monthly calls, 'Reweaving Women's Community' designed to support you to create and sustain a vibrant woman's group.
Begin to read about our silenced and stolen women's history and the rich mythology and stories of our heritage (see the Bibliography & Resources section).
Engage in ancestral lineage healing work to heal your family lines and cultivate relationships with your well ancestors, remembering the unique wisdom and blessings nested in your blood and bones – wisdom and blessings the world requires for its wellness.
This is the most subversive Action Step. But it could easily be misunderstood. This is not meditation as we have been taught to meditate. This is deep listening. Set aside 15 minutes in your day to be quiet, inviting awareness of, and permission for, your authentic emotional, soulful experience; listen to your deeper thoughts and connect with the wild world around and within you. This is essential, as unspecific as it may sound. If we cannot quiet ourselves – slipping beneath the cultural noise with its erroneous, deadening narratives – we will not rekindle the wisdom ways that are the antidote to our current human dilemma.
The deepest gratitude and appreciation go to the ancestors, to the ancient ones, the blood and bone ancestors and the Earth ancestors of place, of person, the ones who are the keepers of the true stories, the beauty and possibility that human culture has largely forgotten; the ones who have never stopped loving or believing in us. May we awaken, remember and return to the central fire of our responsibility to cherish and tend all Life.

Letters from Lodi
An insightful and objective look at viticulture and winemaking from the Lodi
Appellation and the growers and vintners behind these crafts. Told from the
perspective of multi-award winning wine journalist, Randy Caparoso.

Women of Lodi's wine industry: Grape exec Amy Blagg
Amy Blagg in her Petite Sirah Vineyard on Lodi's east side
We are continuing our series of profiles on the Lodi wine industry's most powerful women with a conversation with Amy Blagg, the Executive Director of the Lodi District Grape Growers Association (LDGGA).
The Lodi District Grape Growers Association represents 310 grape growers plus related businesses working within California Crush District 11. The boundaries of District 11 are defined as San Joaquin County north of State Hwy. 4 (bisecting Stockton); south of U.S. Hwy. 50 in Sacramento County; and east of Interstate 5. This roughly (if not exactly) corresponds to the boundaries of the federally approved Lodi Viticultural Area, where over 110,000 acres of premium wine grapes are planted.
LDGGA plays the important role of giving a voice to individual growers, particularly in political matters at local, state and federal levels. Ms. Blagg comes by her position in the most natural way possible; having been born and raised in a Lodi farming family, and now making her own living as a Lodi farmer, in marital partnership with a Lodi farmer, and most likely as a mother of future Lodi farmers (if the local tradition hold true).
We live in a great country, where anyone can grow up to do possibly anything, while living anywhere in the world. Which makes it all the more amazing that Lodi remains one of the few wine regions, outside of Europe, where the profession of wine grape growing manages to last more than two generations within a given family. Here in Lodi, vineyard owners and managers typically go back three, four, even five or six generations.
In addition to her work with LDGGA, Ms. Blagg has served as past chairman for the Young Farmers and Ranchers of San Joaquin County, and represents the area of Victor and eastern Lodi on the San Joaquin County Farm Bureau Board of Directors. In 2013 she was recognized for her contributions to these organizations going "above and beyond in service to the ag industry" (according to a Farm Bureau press release) with a Star YF&R Award.
Our talk with Ms. Blagg:
LoCA: How long has your family lived and worked in Lodi?
A.B.: I was born and raised in Lodi, as were my parents. My great-grandfather was of German descent and came from Crimea, Russia. He arrived in Lodi in the early 1920s where he initially worked in vineyards on Alpine Road. He met my great-grandmother, whose family worked on a dairy farm in the Thornton area. They were married and eventually purchased a dairy on Hwy 88 and Harney lane in 1943 – on the site where Omega Cellars is located today. That dairy, operated by my grandfather until 1996, is where my mom (Claudia Valente) was raised. I was also raised on the family dairy farm, and my parents still live on that property.
This photo by Amy Blagg (of her sons Nathan and Henry on the Blagg farm) took a prize in a San Joaquin Farm Bureau photography contest
LoCA: What about your dad's side?
A.B.: My dad is Joe Valente, the Vineyard Manager for John Kautz Farms. He has worked for the Kautz family since 1980, managing all of their Lodi area vineyards and orchards. My brother Gary also works for Kautz Farms. My dad's parents farmed in Lodi; on the west side, growing hay and other crops. My paternal grandfather was of Portuguese descent. Like many Portuguese-Americans, he came to California by way of Hawaii – born on the island of Kauai. He came to Lodi in the 1930s.
LoCA: What does your job as Executive Director of the Lodi District Grape Growers Association entail?
A.B.: We represent District 11 grape growers on political and regulatory issues. We also provide grower education and networking opportunities, and award scholarships to students studying agriculture. I manage all the LDGGA activities and report to our volunteer Board of Directors.
LoCA: When did you start with LDGGA, and what did you do prior to that?
A.B.: I have held this position since 2008. Prior to LDGGA, I worked for Sacramento County Farm Bureau and the California Fig Advisory Board. I'm a graduate of (California) Fresno State (2006) with a degree in Agricultural Business, and a past recipient of an LDGGA Jim Kissler Memorial Scholarship.
LoCA: What might be the biggest single issue facing LDGGA today?
A.B.: Currently, water is the biggest single issue. Growers are facing the impacts of the drought, new reporting requirements for the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program, the curtailments of water rights, and new groundwater management legislation. LDGGA holds water forums to keep our members educated on ever-changing water issues. Our directors and I keep engaged at the local level in water districts and steering committees that are helping to implement new rules and regulations.
LoCA: Talk to us about your own family, and the farm that you've established on the east side of town.
A.B.: My husband, Tyler Blagg, is an agent for Petersen & Company Agricultural Real Estate. We have three sons: Nathan, who is 6; Henry, 4 years old; and Oliver, just 6 months. In addition to our "day jobs," we have a variety of farming operations; including a small vineyard – all Petite Sirah, planted in 2013, which goes to one of the larger wine producers. We also raise dairy heifers on pasture, before being sold when they come to maturity; and we are also growing hay.
Lodi District Grape Growers Association Executive Director Amy Blagg
LoCA: You certainly are doing a lot of raising – kids, baby heifers, grapes and hay – but what would you say you love most about what you do?
A.B.: I love the people that I get to work with. The Lodi grower community is made up of some of the hardest working and most genuine people around. I enjoy working with these people on a daily basis, and I also love the variety that my job at LDGGA job brings. One day I can be up in Sacramento meeting with legislators, the next day I can be planning an event, or attending a committee meeting on LDGGA's behalf.
LoCA: Is there one accomplishment you are particularly proud of?
A.B.: I am proud that LDGGA membership continues to grow. As a membership based organization, we are only as strong as our members. I am also proud of the variety of grower education that we are able to provide. Growers today must be focused on much more than just what happens in the vineyard. We are able to help them navigate through the often confusing world of labor and employment regulations, water issues, the winegrape market, and more.
LoCA: Has being a woman heading a farmers' organization ever been an issue?
A.B.: No! I feel that I have always been treated with great respect by all of our members, and by everyone in the wine industry. That said, I also appreciate the flexibility that this job allows me to have; especially since I am able to work from a home office, where I can also be with my young family.
LoCA: Through your work, what are you hearing people out in the market saying about Lodi grown wines?
A.B.: Right now there is a lot of excitement about Lodi. This area is finally getting the recognition that it deserves after many years of hard work. People are recognizing the quality and value that Lodi has to offer. I see this both in industry and personal settings. Personally, I love sharing Lodi wines with friends and family, and love to see them get won over by Lodi.
LoCA: Where do you envision yourself 10 to 20 years from now?
A.B.: Lodi is home, and always will be. I hope that we can expand our own vineyard and farming operations in the future.
LoCA: Where do you envision Lodi as a wine region, as well as a community, 10 to 20 years from now?
A.B.: I think the strength of Lodi as a wine region will always be the growers themselves. They are the foundation of this community. Many growers have vertically integrated and opened their own wineries – I see these types of grower-owned businesses continuing to grow and succeed.
LoCA: What kind of advice would you give younger women who are thinking about entering the wine industry?
A.B.: There is tremendous opportunity in the wine industry. In the Lodi area, operations are only expanding, and those that once were exclusively family-run are now hiring individuals to fill a variety of roles. The wine industry is one of the most progressive in agriculture, and I do not see roles defined by gender. We see women in leadership positions, women as winemakers, PCAs (i.e. Pest Control Advisors), winery field representatives – the opportunities are endless!

Bosch AQT 42-13 High-Pressure Washer
Estimated Dispatch: 4 - 6 working days
Bosch's AQT 42-13 is supplied with an impressive range of accessories (including 7m PVC hose, patio cleaner, high-pressure spray gun and a variety of nozzles) for unbeatable versatility and efficient cleaning in a variety of situations.
SKU: 06008A7372
It's sometimes surprising what a difference a good clean will make. Tools and vehicles, for instance, can turn out to be as good as new once you scrape away the accumulated grime from frequent use. Even patios, decking and driveways can be transformed with a good clean, putting the finishing touches on a beautifully maintained garden. To help ensure that routine cleaning work doesn't become too demanding, however, you're going to want a little help from Bosch's AQT 42-13. Designed to be capable of tackling any domestic cleaning application around the garden and outside of the home, with this superb new cold water pressure washer you'll find even the most challenging dirt easy to shift.
Powered via an efficient 1900W electric motor, the AQT 42-13 is capable of delivering a maximum flow rate of 420 litres per hour at a pressure of 130 bar. This is, needless to say, pretty impressive for a machine as quiet and compact as the AQT 42-13, but with an easy-to-use detergent system also included you can quickly boost the cleaning power further still if the task at hand demands it. The AQT 42-13's self-priming pump, meanwhile, enables use of alternative water sources when a mains source isn't available, so you can even utilise this machine for cleaning in areas without direct access to a tap (or if you'd just rather use collected rain water than run up a bigger utility bill).
The true brilliance of the AQT 42-13, however, lies in its versatility and the incredible variety of attachments with which it is supplied. In addition to a 7m length of high-pressure PVC hose, this includes (now take a deep breath if you're reading this out loud); a Bosch high-pressure spray gun, a deluxe patio cleaner attachment, a flat jet nozzle, a specialised high-pressure nozzle for use with detergents, a rotary jet nozzle, a 90-degree nozzle, a spray lance and a Roto-Power nozzle. Together these accessories allow you to customise the AQT 42-13 for just about any cleaning job imaginable, with a "Click and Go" SDS quick-connect system included to make switching between attachments quick and simple.
For added convenience the AQT 42-13's clever design incorporates an innovative hose storage system and an integrated accessory holder, so all of the nozzles and other attachments mentioned above can be neatly tucked away when not in use. The pressure washer itself is similarly easy to tidy away, with its compact design and foldaway carry handle saving valuable storage space when not in use. Additional features add to this user-friendliness further, not least the auto-stop system (which deactivates the pump when the trigger is released to save power) and the AQT 42-13's telescopic handle and smooth-running wheels (each of which aids transportation when moving from site to site).
Furthermore, with a high quality water filter included to reduce maintenance demands, Bosch's AQT 42-13 is also pleasingly dependable. And as if to underline this Bosch also supplies a two year manufacturer's warranty with every machine, so you can now invest in the outstanding cleaning power offered by Bosch's AQT 42-13 with complete confidence.

About Bosch
Since the humble beginnings in Stuttgart, 1886, when Robert Bosch formed his own business manufacturing electronic components, the 'Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' has become one of the biggest and best known manufacturers of domestic and industrial electrical products in the world. The willingness to improve on established designs started almost immediately and it is this ethos that has kept Bosch GmbH and Bosch lawnmowers ahead of their rivals ever since. This innovation is quite apparent in the present range of Bosch lawnmowers and garden products that include tools no other garden machinery manufacturer produces.
Whatever size your garden, there is bound to be a Bosch lawnmower to suit it. The Bosch Rotak electric and cordless mowers exemplify the company's willingness to innovate with features such as grass combs that enable mowing up to the edges of lawn borders and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries with virtually no drop-off in performance after extended use. Aside from Bosch lawnmowers, notable inventions are the Ciso Cordless Secateur and Isio Cordless Shrub Shear, tools that allow users with physical weaknesses to carryout day-to-day gardening tasks without discomfort. There is no doubt that if a garden tool can be improved upon, Robert Bosch GmbH is probably designing its successor already.
